1. Switch between Normal Lock Screen and Music Player The typical home screen of MIUI lets you access the call log (swipe left), camera (swipe up), messages (swipe right) and unlock (swipe down). If you want to listen to music without unlocking the phone, double tap on the centre of the circle (orange glow) and it will switch from the typical lock screen to one with music controls. 2. Long Press Back Button as Shortcut to Camera While some smartphones allow you to unlock straight into the camera app via a dedicated shutter button or on the lock screen, MIUI allows you to unlock to the camera app by long pressing the back button on the lock screen. The option can be enabled in Settings > Buttons > Long Press Back for Camera. You can access this via Settings > Buttons > Long Press Back for Camera. 3. Long Press Back to Close Current App Pressing the back button in most Android devices does not close the app; the app simply runs in the background. In MIUI, there is an option for you to close the current app by long pressing the back button. This will prevent apps from running in the background and consuming resources (battery and data. 4. Long Press Any Icon in Toggles to Access its Settings While most, if not all Android devices come with Quick Settings, not all of them support quick access to the individual setting page for the toggle. MIUI lets you long press on any icon in the Toggles to access its setting page. So far, weve tested this feature on the HTC One, LG G2 and Samsung Galaxy Note 3, and HTC is the only brand out of the three to not support this feature. 5. Network Speed Ever wondered how fast your data connection is? MIUI gives you the option to see the connection speed on the status bar at the top. This option can be enabled or disabled via Settings > Notifications > Show Connection Speed.
